Director Drew Goddard Quits Marvel's "Daredevil" TV Series

Just recently, director Edgar Wright abandoned Marvel's "Ant-Man," despite spending years working on the film. And now comes word that Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods) will no longer be involved with Marvel's "Daredevil" TV series.

Goddard was set to write and direct the pilot episode, as well as be an executive producer on the full 13-episode series, which will be released on Netflix along with "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage" series.

Many assumed that Goddard dropped out in order to take over helming duties on "Ant-Man." But actually, he just wants to focus on the upcoming "Sinister Six," which is "The Amazing Spider-Man" spin-off revolving around a group of Spider-Man villains.

Meanwhile, Marvel has already replaced Goddard on "Daredevil," hiring Stephen S. DeKnight to run the show. DeKnight is the creator of Starz's "Spartacus" series, as well as the writer/producer on such shows as "Smallville," "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."
